encounter at the library

I'm having an issue with some kind of mis-configuration on my USB drive. It seems to dislike the town library's new wireless setup. However, the system on my netbook's internal storage has no problem with it.

I asked one of the librarians if she knew of some issue with the wireless. She pulled out her Nook, and reported quickly that indeed, something seems to be amiss, as the browser isn't loading the Google banner on their main page.

She loves her Nook, with the full Android system. And, because of it, she loves Linux. She's fully aware that the heartbeat of Android is the same as the heartbeat of my netbook. She said, "Who needs an iPad?"
